with the 5yr anniversary of 9/11 just commorated we have seen a plethora of articles, academia & programs on the attacks. one of the more fsscinating things i have read is a paper called Stranger then Fiction which gives a history of Zionism/ places in context the lengths Isreal would go to to further the cause of international Zionism.

In the analysis by the paper it collects evidence of operations of Mossad agents and their military operations around the world/ eyewitness accounts/ internet findings of articles that relates individuals in govt, media, business etc to 9/11/ expert opinion and historical precedents. The article blames Isreal as the real culprit behind 9/11 as a reason to further their own cause.

I have used their footnotes to corroborate the pieces of the puzzle and have done further research to pinch myself of this reported evil. Like it or not the pieces of the puzzle reveal a picture of the Star of David as the real menace.

But what do people think of this

The u.k. government is again thinking of increasing the price of drink ,with the hope that it will cut down on underage drinking.
Surely this is not the solution, to me, its just another excuse to bring in more revenue.
There has been countless price increases with tobacco prices which, just increased the amount of illegal imports so, will the same apply to drink.
This government always thinks (wrongly) that to up the price of everything gets rid of the problems are they misguided or what ?

America went to Irag because they needed the oil, they did not care about Sudan because there was nothing to gain, they are after Iran because there have prospects. Is this truly the way of pursuing world democracy?

IDF commander: We fired more than a million cluster bombs in Lebanon
By Meron Rappaport

"What we did was insane and monstrous, we covered entire towns in cluster bombs," the head of an IDF rocket unit in Lebanon said regarding the use of cluster bombs and phosphorous shells during the war.

Quoting his battalion commander, the rocket unit head stated that the IDF fired around 1,800 cluster bombs, containing over 1.2 million cluster bomblets.

In addition, soldiers in IDF artillery units testified that the army used phosphorous shells during the war, widely forbidden by international law. According to their claims, the vast majority of said explosive ordinance was fired in the final 10 days of the war.

The rocket unit commander stated that Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) platforms were heavily used in spite of the fact that they were known to be highly inaccurate.

MLRS is a track or tire carried mobile rocket launching platform, capable of firing a very high volume of mostly unguided munitions. The basic rocket fired by the platform is unguided and imprecise, with a range of about 32 kilometers. The rockets are designed to burst into sub-munitions at a planned altitude in order to blanket enemy army and personnel on the ground with smaller explosive rounds.

The use of such weaponry is controversial mainly due to its inaccuracy and ability to wreak great havoc against indeterminate targets over large areas of territory, with a margin of error of as much as 1,200 meters from the intended target to the area hit.

The cluster rounds which don't detonate on impact, believed by the United Nations to be around 40% of those fired by the IDF in Lebanon, remain on the ground as unexploded munitions, effectively littering the landscape with thousands of land mines which will continue to claim victims long after the war has ended.

Because of their high level of failure to detonate, it is believed that there are around 500,000 unexploded munitions on the ground in Lebanon. To date 12 Lebanese civilians have been killed by these mines since the end of the war.

According to the commander, in order to compensate for the inaccuracy of the rockets and the inability to strike individual targets precisely, units would "flood" the battlefield with munitions, accounting for the littered and explosive landscape of post-war Lebanon.

When his reserve duty came to a close, the commander in question sent a letter to Defense Minister Amir Peretz outlining the use of cluster munitions, a letter which has remained unanswered

That way he (or she) will get the steaming pile of **** left by Bush and friends on the White House steps?

I think a moderate Rep. like McCain could get some of it turned around but still will take the hit the GOP deserves for screwing things up. He'd be one term, but not a disaster.

My biggest fear is a Democrat wins, is unable to do 8 years of massive Republican incompetence and then will get the blame for it (because the Repubs will spread lies and propaganda just like they have managed to convince people Somalia was Clinton's idea).

If that scenario unfolds, there won't be another Dem in the White House for 20 years!

I don't care if you like or dislike Blair but should this practice be allowed given that the country voted for Blair to be PM.

Is it fair to install a new prime minister (someone the public has no say in!) half way through a parliment? whoever that might be?

And is Brown the right man for the job?

Africa, they say is a land of promise, a land under rennaisance, a land of opportunities, a land of poverty, a land of diseases, a land where injustice is constitutional, a land where the people are considered as the happiest in the world, because they dance, party and jubilate in midst of terror, suffering oppression and injustice. It is also a land of hospitality, where the people love strangers and visitors more than themselves. (An African can give a visitor his supper and go to sleep on empty stomach), a land of abundant resources. What I do not understand is, amidst these bounties, why is Africa still scratching and scratching and never coming up with anything. (Is it that she has been condemned from creation, or that its people are truly monkeys? - brainwise, or what) Please... please... please somebody help my beloved Africa.

I spend all this time creating avator and was so happy I got perfect one. Then I come on here and see you have same avator. I can't even use my own avator. So I go through all your questions and answers because you are making me so mad now. I notice something. Why you obsessed with guy named Alberto. Yout try to act like you don't like him. I can tell you stalk and like him so much. Why you being gay in closet man? Why you no ask Alberto on date. You so obsessed with him you know. Don't lie to me man. How many people think that Ping should just ask Alberto on date so he can not hide anymore from his gay pride self? How many people think he should just be real and true and honest to himself? It okay Ping we not judge you Ping. I want my avator back okay?
